"No I don't want to go over the list! OK let's go over the list." Jack Butler, Mr. Mom

  I'm making a list, checking it twice. Okay, it's not my list, it's Katie's. She's always better than me at organizing and with our trip to San Diego in just over a week, it's all about being organized. Shopping, returning, family parties, and so on.

  Heading out of town with 3 kids is no picnic. Of course there's the packing, trying to get out the door, and getting to the airport. But the scariest part will be the actual traveling. Would it be better to be on longer flights with shorter layovers, or shorter flights and longer layovers. Well guess what? We have chosen one of each. And the best part? Schlepping the kids and all there stuff through security, through the terminals, and finally getting them to their seats and having them behave.

  A word about airport security. I have yet to fly since the new screenings, but doesn't it look inviting. Either get to stand in the "Esto es un robo" position, or get tickled in the most ticklish parts. Anyway, we'll be showing up earlier than before just in case.
